Features & Capabilities

Kanji Lookup is a fast, handwriting-driven Chrome extension that helps you discover kanji meanings quickly. It focuses on one thing: showing the character's pronunciation and definition from a simple drawing, with no clutter or exhaustive lookups.

It also offers keyboard search, optional text search in pasted content, and a related-words list for the kanji. With support for over 3500 kanji (including Joyo and Jinmeiyo), it delivers near-instant results in a clean, minimal UI.

Pros: handwriting lookup, rich kanji data, matching stroke-order animations, camera/Furigana support, and a user-friendly interface.

Overall, a very useful kanji tool when stable, with room for reliability improvements and feature enhancements.

Pros

Comprehensive data including radicals, vocabulary, explanations and useful example words and sentences.
Stroke-order animations and drawing features that greatly aid learning.
Helpful camera tool that translates kanji to furigana and speeds reading.
Easy to use and well organized with generally light, unobtrusive ads.

Cons

Bugs and crashes that cause the app to close unexpectedly.
Inconsistent camera/recognition performance, including horizontal reading issues and occasional lack of translations.
Ads can interrupt lookups for some users (e.g., 30-second ads).
Missing features like pronunciation and quiz-style practice.
